Well Turned Out Ballet Dance Technique

Classical Ballet is based on the turnout, without it, the technique can’t exist. The well turned out leg makes a fundamental contribution to the stability, range of motion, mobility and strength of the dancer, as well as to the elongated shape of the muscles.

Factors Determining the range of turnout

At hip level, the femur, or tight bone, is composed of a head, a neck, and two bony protuberances, the greater and lesser trochanters. The bony structure of the hip that is the most important factor in determining the degree of possible turnout.

Turnout is predetermined; the youngster with naturally turned-in hips will never attain the degree of rotation needed for safe execution of upper level technique, and should not be forced. Fortunately, a process of self-selection seems to prevail at an elementary level.

The Turnout is a movement –> The rotation of the thigh bone in the hip socket is a movement; it is an action the dancers takes, an action that must be learned and practiced.
